I got this place on a COVID price l - a real bargain for downtown Bangkok! Location is prime although it does get busy during rush hours.
I work online and the condo wifi isn't strong enough. I ended up hotspotting directly from my phone as the wifi connection couldn't sustain Zoom conferences.
Overall, the place is as shown in the photos. There were no hangers, shampoo or soap (there were bottles but they were all empty), and no dishwashing liquid. The induction stoves were sticky with some brownish sauce which I had to clean. There were no spare toilet paper rolls either! I did contact the host to ask her if she would reimburse me for buying her place some hangers. She ghosted me on that. When I asked her about whether there were spare toilet rolls available, she only replied that this was COVID price and so to just deal with it.
The TV in the bedroom was spoilt and even though a mechanic came to check it out, nothing was done to replace it or correct the problem. The water dripped in a tiny dribble in the kitchenette which made washing up difficult. There were problems overall in the whole apartment and I got the sense from the host that since it was a COVID price, I should just deal with it.
I had massive problems with checking in and the host was not very helpful in helping me figure out how to open the door. Namely: There was a key card and a key. I waved the key card as the door looked like it was a key card door. It didn't work. The door had a hidden key lock, which you had to know existed. Once the key was put in, the key doesn't turn in the usual fashion but in the opposite direction. Even though my eventual stay was reasonable, it didn't match my expectation for what a plush condo like this would be.
Assuming all these issues are addressed and doesn't happen again, I believe this stay is a winner. If not, it is worth the value of US$20-25/night (which is what I paid). Not more.
The condo does take pets! A massive plus as I travel with my toy poodle. So that was a really great thing. Also, the coffee shop below served excellent coffee. A real plus.
All in all, I would book this again only because I am familiar with the issues. But as a first timer, this was mildly disappointing.
